Warren Commission (06 of 26): Hearings Vol. VI (of 15)
United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Miss MITCHELL. I was born in Roanoke, Tex., which is in Denton County,
about 30 miles north of here; graduated from high school in Denton in
1942. I went to college for 2 years at Arlington and moved to Dallas
and came to work here in June of 1944. I have held several secretarial
and stenographic type jobs before I went to work for the county of
Dallas and that was in 1950 and I have been there since then.
Mr. BALL. Since 1950, you have been with the county with the Clerk of
the District Court of Dallas County?
Miss MITCHELL. Yes, sir.
Mr. BALL. On the 22d of November 1963, about noontime, where were you?
Miss MITCHELL. About noontime?
Mr. BALL. Yes.
Miss MITCHELL. I was in the office about noon.
Mr. BALL. Working?
Miss MITCHELL. Working, which is in the basement of the Records
Building.
Mr. BALL. Did you leave there some time, leave the office to see the
parade that morning?
Miss MITCHELL. Yes, as a matter of fact, I went up to see the parade
since we are in the basement.
Mr. BALL. What time did you leave the building?
Miss MITCHELL. At possibly 12:25 or 12:27, something like that.
Mr. BALL. Whom were you with?
Miss MITCHELL. I left the office with Jim Crawford.
Mr. BALL. Where did you go?
Miss MITCHELL. I went out onto the street and down to the corner of the
building.
Mr. BALL. That means you would be on what corner of what streets?
Miss MITCHELL. I went out the Elm Street entrance of the building and I
was on the corner of Elm and Record--I'm sorry, Elm and Houston.
Mr. BALL. Which corner?
Miss MITCHELL. I knew you were going to ask that and I decided it's
probably the northwest corner. I am not good at directions.
Mr. BALL. Let's put it this way----
Miss MITCHELL. It's the corner diagonally across the intersection from
the Texas School Book Depository.
Mr. BALL. The Texas School Book Depository is on the northwest corner;
that would put you on the southeast corner.
Miss MITCHELL. Yes, sir; I was thinking about which corner of the
building.
Mr. BALL. The northwest corner of the building and the southeast corner
of the intersection, is that right?
Miss MITCHELL. Yes, sir.
Mr. BALL. Were you near the curb when you were standing?
Miss MITCHELL. Yes; I was on the curb.
Mr. BALL. Did you see the President's car pass?
Miss MITCHELL. Yes; I did.
Mr. BALL. Tell me in your own words what you noticed and what you heard
after the President's car passed; what did you see and what did you
hear?
